In 1040s, young Harald Sigurdson was exiled from his homeland. After reaching Kiev and serving Kievan Rus for many years, time has come to set sail for the unknown: The mythical land of Miklagard. The current Grand Prince of Rus, Yaroslavl the Wise, assures young Harald before he goes on this journey.
